Earthspirit, Glastonbury
Our home for these days is Earth spirit centre, a beautiful eco resort within the sacred enclosures of Avalon, just a few miles from the town of Glastonbury.
The seventeenth century farm buildings is situated in a lush green gardens surrounded by fields next to two nature reserves. The energy of the lands are empowering and healing, making it the perfect setting for our purpose.
Earth spirit believes, we all need to honour and learn from the way nature does things. We humans are one strand in the web of life but our actions can be hugely damaging.
Accommodation at Earth spirit is simple but comfortable, clean and infused with the energy of love, healing and tranquility.
The Heart chakra’s element is air and the colour is green – we will spend as much time as possible outdoors in the green gardens and feeling the breeze upon your skin, allowing your heart to connect with mother earth. Because the colour green is around us in the trees and in the grass, going out walking, or laying in the grass and allowing the heart to feel it, can help to bring it into balance!
In the evenings we light a fire, and just spend time together. Watch the stars, grab a guitar and sing a song or roast marshmallows over the fire.
